APPLICATION FOR HOME LOANS DUE TO END JUNE 27 OF. (contributed) Crowned with his ninety years, and standing in the pulpit of the Pres byterian church Memorial Day, Judge Win. Colvig, past commander of the Department of Oregon, Grand Army of the Republic, gave such a sim ple and .elevated reading of "The Gettysburg Address" as one la sel dom privileged to hear. Prefacing his reading with a graphic account of the historical events Immediately preceding the battle of Gettysburg, a brief sum mary of the relative si.e of the two arm lea and an estimate of the losses on both sides, all of which seemed pitiably small compared with the colossal figures of the World War, Mr. Colvig from the depth of his own experience, seemed to convey to his hearers something of the deep emo tion that stirred the heart of Lin coln when he set down those Im mortal words which have become both spiritual and redemptive. So rare It Is to hear a reading of such simplicity and fervor. Notwithstand ing, or possibly becauso of, his wealth of years, the Judge's voice rang clear and true filling the room so that hs commanded the attention of all. The Home Owners' Loan corpora tion, through Attorney Robert Htr- mond, announced Saturday that new applications for loans will now be received. It was also announced that It will not be necessary for those who have previously made applica tion to do ao again. In that the old applications will be reconsidered. No applications will be received after June 27, The same eligibility requirements that the applicant's home must be in danger of foreclosure, either from a mortgage or taxes, will prevail. It is not necessary that foreclosure pro ceedings have been started, but it must be poven that the applicant owned the property prior to June 13, 1933, and that the applicant ia either a resident on the property, or Is temporarily absent. The loans bear a five per cent Interest rate, with monthly pay ments for 16 years. A loan of 1000 can be repaid at a rate of between $B and $0 per month. Of course, the loan must be paid, or foreclosure will .follow, Numerous foreclosures have been Instituted In cases where the bor rowers have failed to meet their payment when it Is apparent that they have sufficient funds to do so, at least In part. AT PEAK SOON The Deak Of the ll.r,n.h.i..tr.r strawberry crop, estimated to be about ovruiKo in quantity, win ne reached early this week, according to County Agent Robert G, Fowler. Although the quantity Is average, the quality Is suld to be better than for some time past, with a good local demand for the berries. The making of Jams and preserves Is well under wav. with hniMnwivM demanding local berles rather than wiose snipped in. although the latter may be slinhtly chenner. The mak ing of successful conserves requires a fresh berry, and outside ones cannot hope to compete with the local nro- duct In this respect. Although the single-bearing varie ties of strawberries will be con in short time, the ever-bearing types are beginning to ripen and there should be no lack of mmniv riniin .. stated yesterday. The ever-bearing Is generally considered slightly Inferior to the slngte-benrlng berry, although me rtogue itiver vaury need bow to no district in excellence of either type.
